Again, all you have to do is make an account. From there, browse through their library of ads or post whatever you have to offer.

If you trade regularly or want to set up shop, SwapTreasures lets you create an online shop for your deals. Link your shop to Facebook, Twitter, and e-mail through what’s called their social media tool.

It seems like items are given a point value, which have a cash value (and you get $10 in points for signing up).

Swap Ace offers a really diverse catalogue. Books, cars, clothes, games – if you can name it, then you’ll probably find it there! This swap site provides an electronic bartering and negotiating system that’s super easy to use too.

If you’re looking for an item in particular, you can place an advertisement for items wanted.

Or, you can check out the advertisements from other people looking to exchange their stuff.

The ReUseIt Network encourages people to make use of items that would have otherwise been discarded. It’s a pretty cool concept. It describes itself as an online forum that helps to “get things from people who have them, but don’t want them, to people who want them, but don’t have them.”

Simply visit the site, then find and join your local group.

And, if there isn’t a group in your area, then contact the site and they can help you to establish one.

SwapaSkill has 70, 720 registered items and skills on offer at the time of writing: Add to it or browse to find what you’re looking for. Categories include things like Online Services, Languages, DIY and Cars & Sitting

Books, Video Games, CDs and DVDs

Are you an avid reader or a huge movie, music or game fan?

Time to indulge your inner bookworm, or love of movies, music, and video games, and you don’t have to drive to that store halfway across town anymore!

Trading seems to be based around a point’s system. For every five books listed, you receive one credit. Books on the site are assigned a point value.

So, some books on the site are worth more points than others, and you can put the points you get towards the book you’re looking for.

Their book dated is guaranteed to be accurate, according to their site, and is updated from either Amazon.com or the Library of Congress. One handy feature is categorizing books by tags, so you can find “that book with that scene in it” when you need to.

PlayNSwap is another good platform for trading video games. Through the platform, you can easily trade in your old video games for new ones.

When you trade-in a video game at a retail store, you get close to nothing back – which is why platforms like this and Game Trading Zone are so refreshing.

You don’t get pennies back in return for your games – you get more games! It’s a much better deal that you get at traditional retailers.

To trade games on PlayNSwap, all you need to do is add games to your game tower. If you’re in search of a particular game, then you simply add it to your wish list, and the site automatically contacts you when it becomes available for trade.

It’s a super easy to use and convenient platform for trading games.

House Swapping

Just what is home swapping?

Simply, it’s the concept of trading your house!

It doesn’t have to be forever – that’s the cool thing about it. You can trade for however long suits both of you!

HomeExchange covers over 65, 000 listings in 150 countries, so you’re sure to find the right place. The site works in co-operation with Tripadvisor.

For those with safety questions, there’s a guide on the site called Is Home Swapping Safe? explaining how they do things. Personal information like phone numbers and social media accounts are verified and connected to HomeExchange profiles as an extra safety measure.

LoveHomeSwap calls themselves the biggest home trading site out there, and it’s not hard to see why: There are 95, 000 homes on offer for this site, and they cover more than 190 countries – including top destinations like New York, Hawaii, and Paris.

Another great house swapping platform is GuesttoGuest. It’s been around for more than two decades, which is pretty impressive, and it offers a simple concept: You stay at someone else’s home, while they stay at yours.

You can trade your home for short or long stays, so it’s a flexible platform.

It’s a great money-saving system, as you don’t have to pay for your accommodation on your trip!

The site’s social network helps you to find members that are similar to you, and the points system increases the number of exchanges you can make through the platform.

Clothing

Got clothes to swap instead?

No problem. With these sites, you can take the clothes you don’t really wear – and according to statistics that’s 80% of your wardrobe! – and swap them for stuff you do actually want.
